The Tampa Bay Rays are selling infielder Young Caminero to the majors, the staff introduced Friday. Caminero, 20, can be skipping over the Triple-A degree upcoming showing in simply 81 Double-A contests. In a corresponding travel, outfielder Luke Raley was once positioned at the IL with a cervical pressure and reliever Trevor Kelley was once designated for project.

Caminero clash .309/.373/.548 with 20 house runs and 62 RBI in 351 journeys to the plate. He essentially seemed at 3rd bottom, although the Rays additionally gave him publicity at shortstop to strengthen his versatility and their optionality.

CBS Sports activities ranked Caminero the seventeenth probability within the minors again in June. Residue confident, he would rank a lot upper now upcoming creation that the troubles about his manner had been unsuitable. Right here’s what we wrote on the pace:

We known Caminero, who the Rays in the beginning bought from the Guardians for journeyman Tobias Myers, as a breakout candidate previous to the season. He’s delivered up to now, posting a daft batting sequence in opposition to Top-A contest that’s three-plus years his senior. Caminero has one primary fear dealing with him now that the subject of his long-term defensive house has been settled (he’s most commonly performed 3rd this generation), and that’s with recognize to his manner. His strikeout charge has larger this generation occasion his move charge has remained static. Create disagree mistake about it: Caminero’s early life and talent to have an effect on the baseball bode neatly for his date possibilities. We simply suspect he’ll face extra of a problem in Double-A till he turns into extra selective. 

It’s to be unmistakable how precisely the Rays deploy Caminero, who they in the beginning bought in a industry from the Cleveland Guardians. In concept, he may just see motion at 3rd bottom and shortstop (if the Rays are relaxed along with his glove there in spurts) in addition to at designated hitter, the place they’ve in recent years deployed a rotating forged, together with infielder Jonathan Aranda and injured outfielder Luke Raley.

The Rays will input Friday with a 1.5-game dearth within the American League East through usefulness of getting received on Thursday occasion the Baltimore Orioles misplaced.
